net: ethtool: remove error check for legacy setting transceiver type

2017-10-22T01:14:18+00:00

Commit 9cab88726929605 ("net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type")
restores the transceiver type to struct ethtool_link_settings and
convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() but forgets to remove the
error check for the same in convert_legacy_settings_to_link_ksettings().
This prevents older versions of ethtool to change link settings.

    # ethtool --version
    ethtool version 3.16

    # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full
    Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
      not setting speed
      not setting duplex
      not setting autoneg

While newer versions of ethtool works.

    # ethtool --version
    ethtool version 4.10

    # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full
    [   57.703268] sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down

net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type

2017-09-21T22:20:40+00:00

Commit 3f1ac7a700d0 ("net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API")
deprecated the ethtool_cmd::transceiver field, which was fine in
premise, except that the PHY library was actually using it to report the
type of transceiver: internal or external.

Use the first word of the reserved field to put this __u8 transceiver
field back in. It is made read-only, and we don't expect the
ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API to be doing anything with this anyway, so this
is mostly for the legacy path where we do:

ethtool_get_settings()
-> dev->ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings()
   -> convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings()

to have no information loss compared to the legacy get_settings API.

net: ethtool: add support for forward error correction modes

2017-07-30T06:23:44+00:00

Forward Error Correction (FEC) modes i.e Base-R
and Reed-Solomon modes are introduced in 25G/40G/100G standards
for providing good BER at high speeds. Various networking devices
which support 25G/40G/100G provides ability to manage supported FEC
modes and the lack of FEC encoding control and reporting today is a
source for interoperability issues for many vendors.
FEC capability as well as specific FEC mode i.e. Base-R
or RS modes can be requested or advertised through bits D44:47 of
base link codeword.

This patch set intends to provide option under ethtool to manage
and report FEC encoding settings for networking devices as per
IEEE 802.3 bj, bm and by specs.

set-fec/show-fec option(s) are designed to provide control and
report the FEC encoding on the link.

SET FEC option:
root@tor: ethtool --set-fec  swp1 encoding [off | RS | BaseR | auto]

Encoding: Types of encoding
Off    :  Turning off any encoding
RS     :  enforcing RS-FEC encoding on supported speeds
BaseR  :  enforcing Base R encoding on supported speeds
Auto   :  IEEE defaults for the speed/medium combination

Here are a few examples of what we would expect if encoding=auto:
- if autoneg is on, we are  expecting FEC to be negotiated as on or off
  as long as protocol supports it
- if the hardware is capable of detecting the FEC encoding on it's
      receiver it will reconfigure its encoder to match
- in absence of the above, the configuration would be set to IEEE
  defaults.

>From our  understanding , this is essentially what most hardware/driver
combinations are doing today in the absence of a way for users to
control the behavior.

SHOW FEC option:
root@tor: ethtool --show-fec  swp1
FEC parameters for swp1:
Active FEC encodings: RS
Configured FEC encodings:  RS | BaseR

ETHTOOL DEVNAME output modification:

ethtool devname output:
root@tor:~# ethtool swp1
Settings for swp1:
root@hpe-7712-03:~# ethtool swp18
Settings for swp18:

    Advertised pause frame use: No
    Advertised auto-negotiation: No
    Advertised FEC modes: [RS | BaseR | None | Not reported]
<<<< One or more FEC modes
    Speed: 100000Mb/s
    Duplex: Full
    Port: FIBRE
    PHYAD: 106
    Transceiver: internal
    Auto-negotiation: off
    Link detected: yes

This patch includes following changes
a) New ETHTOOL_SFECPARAM/SFECPARAM API, handled by
  the new get_fecparam/set_fecparam callbacks, provides support
  for configuration of forward error correction modes.
b) Link mode bits for FEC modes i.e. None (No FEC mode), RS, BaseR/FC
  are defined so that users can configure these fec modes for supported
  and advertising fields as part of link autonegotiation.

net: add new netdevice feature for offload of RX port for UDP tunnels

2017-07-24T20:52:59+00:00

This adds a new netdevice feature, so that the offloading of RX port for
UDP tunnels can be disabled by the administrator on some netdevices,
using the "rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload" feature in ethtool.

This feature is set for all devices that provide ndo_udp_tunnel_add.
